Green Il Co s report on cotton futures says:
1T was decidedly dun market for cotton con-
tracts and without feature of importance.
Liverpool strengthened fraction and there was
a slight response here, values gaining a few
points upon a demand from local shorts, but no
new orders came in and the close proved tame
throughout. August was quite stupid and weak,
but not pressed severely for sale in the evident
absence of demand, though as rule holders
were very willing to realize. Crop accounts
generally continue in good form, except in sec
lions of Texas. y

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Corn has had its
day So tame has the market for that
staple become that tomorrow the wheat
resume possession Of the largest of the pits
Wheat to-day was active by spurts, but the
feeling most of the session was weak and heavy
Contrary to public advices, private cables re
ported that Russia and India wheat was offered
freely, and on the latter it was rumored that
there was considerable selling being done. 9Ate
ments were also circulated that European OOPS
would be larger and OF better quality than anti
cipated. Prices were nc lower at the opening
After huctuating slightly, the market then sold
off &c from top figures and closed sc lower
than yesterday. Corn trading was chiefly local
outside orders being limited and rather irreSu-
lar, some to buy and others TO sell, depending
on changes in the outlook of the crop in differ
ent sections within the past few days Near
futures were comparatively steady, while more
deferred deliveries ruled easier. Market opened
141asc under yesterdays closing, huctuated
within 1505sc range, and closed 1sc lower for
September and 5sltS4c lower for October and
May than yesterdays closing. The market for
oats was fairly active and, although there was
a weak and fractionally lower closing for future
deliveries a pretty steady feeling prevailed
most of the session May was the weakest flu
ture in the list closing &c off; while less dis
tant options were only 1a@14c lower. Receipts
continue liberal. In provisions the bear side
was regarded with the greatest favor. Operators
were circumspect in their movement, yet offer
iugs rather exceeded the demand, and lower
prices we're the rule. In year pork the decline
was i5c in January pork 27lsc; in lard for near
and next winters delivery 56D71fc, and in short
ribs for August, September and October 80 1ec,
and for January 121@c.
